Cerebral malaria (CM) is a severe complication of Plasmodium falciparum infection, with resistance to antimalarial drugs, including artemisinin-based combination therapies(ACTs), posing a significant threat. CD4+ naive cells expressing CCR7 are known to play a protective role, as they readily migrate to secondary lymphoid tissues activated by CCL19 chemokines. In an effort to address this challenge, we investigated the impact of Annona muricata, an herbaceous and immunomodulatory plant, on CCL19 concentration.

Background: Post-Artesunate delayed hemolysis (PADH) occurs in approximately 15% of treated patients 2 to 3 weeks after artesunate administration. Identifying risk markers for PADH would help predict which patients are at higher risk.
Methods: In this prospective national cohort study conducted in a non-malaria endemic area from 2011 to 2016, a Cox proportional hazards model was used to assess the association between clinical and biological data available at Day 0 and the occurrence of PADH within 30 days of artesunate administration.

In non-endemic regions, sporadic cases frequently pose significant challenges to health workers as delayed diagnosis can lead to serious consequences and even death.
